The report, issued by local advocates for prisoners and immigrants, reviewed records of complaints and violations at Plymouth County Correctional Facility that date as far back as 2002.
Citing two decades-worth of complaints about overcrowding, inadequate health care and other mistreatment, a new report alleges Plymouth County Correctional Facility staffers engaged in a pattern of abuse against immigrant detainees.
Boston University law professor Sarah Sherman-Stokes, who directs the school's immigrants' rights program, said the findings illustrate a clear violation of the rights of immigrants detained at Plymouth, as well as a failure of accountability by ICE officials. “We are justifiably proud of our professional staff and the exemplary level of humane care and security provided to all individuals entrusted in our care,” Barry said in a statement.The report also includes excerpts from interviews with more than 60 immigrants who have been detained at Plymouth.
